Back in 2011, the Scottish Government rejected proposals to close the hospital.

Scottish Labour staged a protest on Saturday calling for it to remain open.

The party's health spokesman Anas Sarwar said: "Local people are angry that Lightburn is set to close after SNP politicians assured us that the hospital was safe.

"Campaigners in Glasgow have a loud and clear message to SNP ministers in Edinburgh - hands off our hospital.

"The Scottish Parliament has voted for the Government to make a decision on Lightburn's future and Labour wants to see it stay open, as the SNP promised it would. Anything less would be completely unacceptable.
